The Portland Sea Dogs are celebrating their 25th season and are conducting online voting for their all-time team. Today, broadcaster Michael Antonellis profiled the three third base candidates in Rafael Devers, Will Middlebrooks, and Kevin Youkilis.

On Tuesday, the Red Sox hit four home runs including one each from prospects Santiago Espinal and Esteban Quiroz. Pitchers factored into the win as well, as Hector Velazquez allowed one run in three innings.
